Excuse the 'look at me!' thread title, I didnt know what else to put haha! :o

My main medium is graphite pencils. I dont really have a lot of time to draw due to college and the workload that comes with it, but when I do draw something I always post it here to see what people think. I thought it would be better for me to make a thread for me to update rather than make new ones every time I finish something! :p

I'm so jealous of your shading <3 It's so neat and clean. I particularly like the candle and the apple works, and you're constantly improving, which is so lovely to see. You've most definately got a talent! I'd love to see more from you <3

Haha aw, thank you Hayley! I'm glad you think I've improved! I'm just getting into digital art so I may do more new stuff or finish my WIP :hug:

First proper digital painting work in progress - a bunch of grapes. My hand hurts from using my Wacom tablet after I paint around 2 grapes. So I'm taking quite a few breaks lol! :o

EDIT: I love how I called this my 'traditional art' thread... here I am now, doing digital art!

Maybe add some pastel coloured highlights and soft different coloured shadows. That's only if you're going for a realistic look.

Thanks for the constructive advice! You're right, I'm going to make sure that I use more colours in my next digital painting! I should have added more reds and oranges to my colour pallet. I'll leave this as my 'first attempt' at digital painting and move on to see if I significantly improve or not. This is why I love criticism, thanks for taking the time to say that, I can't wait to start another piece with your advice in mind, it'll be something new (exciting!) to try. :D :hug:
